This is out of sequence, but I am putting up what I can … when I can. This far south, the satellite signal is not all that stable. No complaints … look at the wonders around us. They are far more important.

Yesterday, after going to Dallman Bay, we headed to Gerlache Strait and then spent the afternoon in the amazing and spectacular Neumayer Channel … with a dip into the bay where Port Lockroy is situated.
